Anyone knows this rather distinctive fly?

Hello, I don't really know wether it is the right ID, but the abdominal patterns looks like Helina sexmaculata ones. Regards. Stephane. |

I come back on this one. Not only the abdominal patterns match, but following my documentation also these features : - base of abdomen translucent reddish-yellow ; - scutum with 2 large brown spots after suture ; - scutellum with yellow tip and two lateral dark spots ; - all legs yellow/brown, femora brownished, and all tarsi black. I know that Helina are usualy impossible to determinate by photographs, but (If I am not wrong) this one could be fairly typical. Azelia have also that kind of abdominal pattern, but I'm sceptical. I dont know what the Pro think about it, but I'd like to, because it's like this I'm learning too... Best regards. Stephane. |

With a few years past I can say that it is for sure a male Helina sexmaculata. And here is the female :
